ment to the Chamber of Deputies of

cord with the recent vote in the
Chamber. He will maintain Goblet IS
Military Bills. He will also announce

BoULANGER's ADVICE.
Gen. BoGlanger upon retiring from
the ministry has issued an order to-
day. thanking those who co-operated
with him to place the country's de-
fences In a condition to stand any test,
and urging officers Of the army to show
devotion to their professional duties
and fidelity to the constitution and
laws. In conclusion he says: ]
shall be first among you te
give an example of both military and
Republican discipline. General Fer
ron upon assuming the duties of the wal
Office also issued an order to-day In
devotion Of all and ann confident that
the various army service viii continue
to resolutely progress. Armies which
surround US continue to increase In
| military training and for US to remain
stationary would be q backward steI
which would seriously imperl this
country's interests. Like my predeces-
sors, shall unremittingly pursue the
policy of military reform and shall
| devote my whole time TO increasing
the defensive forces of France and the
Republic.

WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.

WASHINGTON, May 3i.-CorTespon-
dence has recently passed between
Secretary Bayard and the British Min
lister on the subject of the immigration
of Irish crofterS, whose transportation
expenses, it is currently reported, are
met by the English Government. In
answer to inquiries by the British Min
lister, as to whether the Government
intends to take any action in the prem
iseS, Secretary Bayard states that he
cannot give general reply, but that
each case will be considered upon its
merits. He intimateS, however, that
the sending OF paupers who are likely
to become a public charge to this coun-
try by the British Government, would
be regarded as an unfriendly act.
THE PUBLIC DEBT.
1t is estimated at the Treasury De-
partment that the decrease of the
public debt during the month of May
is SO, 900 900.
A COMPLETE SUCCESS.
The army officers, who served as
judges at the national drill, called at
the War Department to-day and paid
| their reports to Secretary Ecdicott and
General Sheridan, prior to their return
ing to their regular stations. Colonel
Black, who was president of the board
of judges, said to-day that the drill
was a complete success from military
standpoint, and that those who man
aged it and those who participated in
it were entitled to great credit.
HanIRn Not Satisfied.
CHICAGO, May 31.-Hanlan, the
oarsman, announced tonight that on
his return to Canada he would chal-
lenge Gaudaur to row yesterdays race
over again on the same course under
exactly similar conditions. The de-
feated champion expressed himself
certain that he can outrow Gaudaur.
If the latter consents the match will
probably occur inside of two months.
1t is thought the stakes will be smaller
than was the case yesterday. Hanlan
favors 81 800 a side. He takes no
stock in. the idea that the
record. was not broken yes
terday. 1.-The pace was forced by
me from the start to the turn" he
says, land was Enthusiastically rapid
Coming back we had the heavy wind in
our favor and Gaudaur, who did not
expect to head out, pulled along with a
strength most surprising. This evening
Hanlan was given reception at the
rooms of the Chicago Canadian Club.
The attendance was large and Hanlan
was warmly greeted.

wind, the sirocco, blows over from Africa.
1t is striking how plentifully and easily
people are provided with ice in this
country. Not even in Paris is it Gus
tomary for man to buy ice, although in
France ice-wagons go about as they do
here. In Germany and Holland most
confectioners provide themselves with
ice during the winter, and from them the
other people have to buy it. 1t costs
more in Europe than in this country and
is less used. People have ice-water with
their meals only in cafes and restaurants
rarely at home. In Paris they have a
way of first filling number of carafes
with water and then freezing them arti-
ficially, which is very practical, as the
ice cannot fall out of the ca
rafe when the. water is being
poured from it. 1t is rather costly ar
rangement, however, and at many places
one has to pay extra for water. Of
mixed drinks, The sherry cobbler is about
the only one used in Europe, and as it is
rather a luxury to partake of such a
strange Yankee beverage, it is costly.
Saltwater fountains, as the drug-stores
have here, were a new thing to me, and
very nice thing, indeed. One sees in
European cities, on street corners, in the
public squares, etc, little pavilions, just
big enough to hold one or two persons,
in which lemonade and settler water are
sold. Girls are mostly employed at
these pavilions, and the people call
these fair bar-tenders ''soda-water
girls" AS rarely more than one
flavor is to be had, the question is not
What flavor?' but merely Nit oder
Mne?" CWith or without ?"), favored
snda-water costing twice as much as I'M
favored. But then pumps are plentiful
in European towns, and it is nothing ex-
traordinary to see one man laboring at
the handle of huge pump, while another
holds his cap under the spout to catch
the water. In French cities they use
beverage which is drank nowhere else
| believe it is a decoction of licorice-woOd,
sweet and cooling when cold. But as it
is carried about the streets in huge iron
cylinders, fastened in the manner of
knapsack on the back of man or woman,
it soon gets hot and unpalatable. 1t is
called COCO, and the man who sells it is
called coco-man, very beautiful title
indeed.
| think that Americans drink too much
of iced beverages, especially with their
meals, when the stomach receives alter
nately warm food and ice-cold water,
which certainly is an unwholesome way
of doing, though, perhaps, not as bad as
